I have successfully reconstructed and enriched every aspect of my life, embracing a new identity: a rediscovered me. My coaching at Phoenix Rising focuses on guiding you through life's complex challenges and important decisions. Having personally experienced these transitions, I can genuinely relate. My professional and personal experiences include navigating the unexpected loss of my husband, a major transition in my career and business, the passing of beloved pets, the challenges of managing elder care on multiple occasions, and more. Emerging from a period of intense grief and solitude, I faced the realization that I had lost touch with my authentic self. Taking control, I metaphorically "rose from the ashes" to comprehensively rebuild my life, prioritizing only what served my highest good. I silenced both external noise and internal skepticism to write my "chapter two," which manifested as a renewed, fulfilling existence. This transformation included a career pivot, selling or giving away all my possessions, relocating with my three dogs to a tropical paradise, my sanctuary, and celebrating newfound love and joy through remarriage. Renewal and peace, with no regrets.
